SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Japan's government and the country's main opposition party have reached a broad agreement on changes to tax and social security reform bills, the Nikkei reported on Friday. That paves the way for an official deal to be struck later in the day, according to the report. Seven bills are under revision by the parties with opposition parties demanding a vote on the bills in the lower house by next Thursday.
